Hi,

I have tried restoring my files from the back up I have but its still
not working,

I have also deleted the Parent.lock file and made sure that the
Profiles.ini file is there in its proper location. i-e documents and
settings\name of user\application
data\mozilla\thunderbird directory. Can you guide me what the problem
would be and how to sort it out?
